Todd around 1812, the second marriage to take place in the White House.Miss Todd was said to have been a
cousin to Dolly Payne Todd Madison, [ii]the
wife of President James Madison. A search of the White House archives and early

Biography:

Dr. Edward
Brake Jackson

1793-1826

Dr. Edward Brake Jackson, congressman
and physician, was born in Clarksburg, (West) Virginia on the 25th of January
1793, a son of Colonel George and Elizabeth Brake Jackson. He lived only
thirty-three short years but led an active and full public life.

Dr. Jackson received his
education at Randolph Academy, Clarksburg, under the direction of Rev. George
Towers, principal.He then studied
medicine under his brother-in-law, Dr. William Williams.

After the surrender of Detroit in the
fall of 1812, Dr. Jackson volunteered as a mounted rifleman in this war with
Great Britain, after which he was detailed as surgeon's mate in the Third
Regiment of Virginia, serving at Fort Meigs in northern Ohio.Later he declined an appointment as
surgeon in the U.S. Army.

Jackson represented his county as a
member of the House of Delegates of the General Assembly of Virginia in
1815.He was clerk of the U. S.
District Court and served in Congress from 1820-23, having been chosen to fill the
vacancy after James Pindall resigned.Later, Jackson was elected to a full term as a Democrat in the U.S.
House of Representatives from Virginia (16th-17th Congress), his term expiring
on 4th of May 1823.It is to the
credit of Dr. Jackson and Rep. McWhorter that the county of Lewis, (West)
Virginia was created. Jackson declined another term in 1822 possibly because of
failing health.

In 1820, in Clarksburg, Jackson
associated with Dr. William Williams, [v]
his brother-in-law, and advertised his business in the Republican Compiler on
21st of July 1820.And, in 1822,
he served on the Board of Trustees of Randolph Academy.

It is a tradition in the Jackson family
that Edward married Miss Anna Todd around 1812, the second marriage to take
place in the White House. Miss Todd was a cousin to Dolly Payne Todd Madison,
the wife of President James Madison.[vi]
A search of the White House archives and early newspapers of Washington DC fail
to verify this marriage, however. The George Jackson family Bible record,
meanwhile, lists only one marriage for Edward, to Elizabeth Gibson.No additional references to Anna Todd
Jackson have been located.

Jackson’s marriage to Elizabeth E.
Gibson probably took place around the 23rd June of 1817 in Fauquier County,
Virginia.On this date, in
Warrenton, Fauquier County, Virginia, E. B. Jackson and William Gibson took a
bond of intent to marry. Elizabeth was the daughter of William and Sarah S.
Winn Gibson who were married the 17 December 1791.Sarah was the daughter of Minor Winn.

In early fall of 1826, Dr. Jackson
left Clarksburg to seek the medical benefits of the healing waters found in
Bedford County, Pennsylvania.It
is obvious from his detailed will that he intended to return to his family and
medical practice.He died on the
8th of September 1826 and was probably buried near Bedford, Pennsylvania, [vii]
but not before making provisions for his wife and children and disposing of his
entire estate right down to his suit of clothing, which he left to George J.
Williams.[viii]
He appointed Elizabeth E. Jackson and George J. Williams guardians of his
children, and he freed his servants, John and Jenny, after they safely escorted
his wife, Elizabeth, and her children, to Mr. Gibson’s home in Fauquier County,
Virginia.[ix]
His will, written and first probated in Bedford County, can be found in the
courthouse at Clarksburg, Harrison County, West Virginia.[x]

Upon Dr. Jackson's death, the Clarksburg
Intelligencer offered this eulogy:"

“In all the various
stations to which he was called he supported with credit to himself the
interest and honor of the District he represented.The death of such a man is both a national and a private
loss.Peace to his ashes.” [xi]

The Evening Star,
Washington, DC, December 8, 1873: Sudden Death of Judge Underwood Apoplexy the
Cause

Judge
John C. Underwood, of Virginia, but recently residing in this city, died
suddenly of apoplexy at his residence, 226 3d street, at 10 o'clock last
evening. The deceased, who was a native of Herkimer county, New York, emigrated
to Fauquier county, Virginia, some twenty-five or thirty years ago, where he
married and settled. He was educated for the law, and divided his attention for
some years between agricultural pursuits and the practice of his profession. On
account of his well-known sympathy with the abolition movement and his support
of Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency in 1860, he was compelled to leave the state.
Mr. Chase, in 1861, secured his appointment as fifth auditor, and in 1864
President Lincoln appointed him district judge for the district of Virginia,
which position he held at the time of his death. In 1865 he was elected U.S.
Senator by the legislature in session at Alexandria, to succeed Mr. Carlisle,
but was not admitted to his seat, owing to the reconstruction measures
debarring Virginia from representation in Congress. He presided over the
convention which framed the present constitution of Virginia. Latterly his name
has been brought prominently before the public in connection with the McVeigh
suits for the recovery of confiscated property--the Judge being the holder of
this property and defendant in the suits. The circumstances of the late
personal attack upon him in Richmond by McVeigh are well remembered, as they
were detailed in The Star at the time. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon from the Unitarian church, corner 6th and D streets, and the
remains will be interred in the Congressional cemetery. The deceased, who was
63 years of age, left a wife and two children. (Interments in the Historic
Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 9/4/2005)

“Judge
Underwood of the U. S. District Court in Richmond, Va, died on the 8th inst of
apoplexy.During the war,
and since, he has been extensively connected in public affairs, and as a result
made warm friends and bitter enemies.In his own State, Virginia, he was an early and bitter opponent of the
rebellion.He was well known in
our own State. His most violent enemies concede him more decision of character
and much more ability now then they believed him to possess which he when he
first rose to the surface as a public man.”

"John
Curtis Underwood, poet and literary figure, was born July 26, 1874 in Rockford,
Illinois. He graduated in 1896 from Trinity (Hartford, Connecticut) with a
Bachelor of Arts. In November 1918, Poetry: a Magazine of Verse, awarded
Underwood the Helen Haire Levinson prize for the best poem of the year for
"The Song of the Cheochas." At the time he lived in Santa Fe, New
Mexico and gave his check to the United War Work Drive. On November 28, 1928 he
married Emily Rudolph, a Californian artist. In addition to their writing and
painting, they ran the Pioneer Art Gallery in Santa Fe.

Underwood,
a supporter of the New Mexico Museum and the arts, gave 68 books to the Museum
Library in 1921. In 1925 he gave prize money for a poetry and painting contest.
Raymond Jonson won the painting contest. Underwood purchased Jonson's prize
winning work, The Power of God, for the Museum collection. Mary Austin won
second prize in the poetry contest.

During
his career Underwood published various books of poetry and literary criticism.
His poems were published in magazines like Everybody's, and Ainslee's Magazine

(1910), Interpreters (1939), Processionals (1915), Pioneers (1923), and
Literature and Insurgency (1914). Reviews of his work can be found in
newspapers as the New York Times and the Boston Transcript . In the preface to
his book, Literature and Insurgency, Underwood gives his opinion of American
literature and ideas about what poetry should be. "Poetry that is real,
that is fit to survive through the centuries, needs no defense. ..., it rises
triumphant from each defeat to summon men and women to greater heights of
aspiration, to greater intensities and charities of common humanity shared and
exalted. Great poetry like all great literature is born of storm and stress in
the individual or the community."

John
Curtis Underwood died at age 74 on January 14, 1949 on his ranch near Santa

Ex-Gov Hunt Dead

A Forty-Niner and Active in the Development of the

The death of Alexander C. Hunt at

development of the west.For the
past six year Gov. Hunt, as he was known, has been a resident of this
city.His home was at 1446 Rhode
Island Avenue.In 1891, while at

never complete.His health became
impaired, and he built a residence at Tenleytown, which he had only recently
occupied.The funeral services,
which will be private, will be held tomorrow, the interment being at
Congressional cemetery.

Governor Hunt was born at Hammondsport, N. Y., in the
year 1829.When a child he was
taken by his parents to Freeport, Ill., which became their home.Here his early life was spent and he
was honored by his fellow citizens by being elected mayor, and given other
places of trust.He crossed the
plains in 1849, and returning in the latter part of the 50’s, he went to
Colorado, making his residence at Denver.He was elected a delegate to Congress from that territory, and later he
was appointed governor.He
subsequently had charge of the Indians in that territory.He was president of the Rio Grande
railroad, and also projected the National railroad from Laredo to the City of
Mexico.He had large property
interests in Texas and in Mexico.He was twice married and leaves a wife and three children.

the Bolling or Bowling, who Ida Force married. (The
name was spelled Bowling in the 1900 census and on her death record in the
Kentucky Death database, Rootsweb.com).

The
Weston Democrat, Lewis County, West
Virginia, April 19, 1890 gave the name of Ida's husband as Dr. George Bolling,
a professor of the medical college of Louisville in 1890. No further
information has been located onDr. George Bolling.

On
theAncestry World Tree Project,
Mae’s Bowling & Doolin Ancestors , William Holt Bolling is given as the
name of her husband . The preparer also gave full names and dates for five
children, Flora Jackson born 8 April
1871, Alfred Force born 1 June 1872,
Anna Dade born 1 Feb 1874, Melville
born 24 April 1876, and Alice
Underwood Bolling born 22 October 1880.
However, this genealogy is no longer available on Ancestry.

There
is a William Holt Bolling living in Jefferson County, Louisville, Kentucky
where this family settled, and there were several references to a William Holt
Bolling in Fauquier County, Virginia during the Civil War. However, both
William Holt and George Bolling/Bowling have managed to elude the census takers
in Kentucky for no census have been located for them as is the case for Erasmus
Force. Mae’s papers gave an1891
death date for William Holt Bolling.

Ida Bowling was located in only one census, the 1900
census for Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky.She is head of the household, a widow, age 55, born in May
1845 [1848 according to the death index with death at age 78] in Kentucky, her
father born in KY and her mother in Virginia. She stated to the census takers
that she had two children/two living and two daughters were living with
her.This conflicts with Mae's
information that she had 5 children. The names of two of the daughters are the
same but the dates of their births disagree with the census data.

Alice Bowling was age 19, born April 1881 and Flora
Sutcliffe was age 26, born Jan 1874, married 3 years, no children.

Living
with her were her mother, Flora, three brothers, Erasmus born April 1856,
Edward J., born Feb. 1842 and George A. born March 1859, and two daughters,
Alice Bowling, age 19 and Flora Sutcliff, married 3 years, age 26. Also living
in the household was a cook and a servant.

+17i.Flora6 Bolling/Bowling born January 1874 in Kentucky; died 23 March 1931
in Jefferson County, Kentucky.

She was age 19, single, born April 1881, born in Ky, her father in Virginia and
her mother in KY. (note her sister's entry says her father was born in VA and
her mother in KY.)Her mother
stated she was born in Kentucky.

[ii] This relationship was through Dolly’s first marriage
to John Todd, Jr. (1790).She
married James Madison in September 1794, after her John’s death.

[iii] In the early 1990’s Harriet Piper called the White
House archivist, Rex Scouten, to inquire about this marriage.He informed her that the second
marriage in the White House was not a Jackson-Todd wedding.

House when the President asked her help in receiving ladies.Dolly was a sister to the wife of John
George Jackson, brother of E. B. Jackson and the Jackson-Madison family had a

[ix] The fact
that all of the children went with Elizabeth to live with the Gibson family is

previous marriage.
